Where can I find the video Jake Lloyd Ten Years after star wars ep one?”
Jake Lloyd was the little boy who played the young Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode One – The Phantom Menace. Amazingly, it’s been a decade since the film that recreated the Star Wars universe on the big screen plunged George Lucas into what seems to be a never-ending divide between young fans and older fans of the Star Wars saga. Whatever you think of the prequel Star Wars films, there’s no denying their immense cultural impact; the sheer scale of the fame attained by all the Star Wars characters. But behind it all, there are real people, and whilst you may have your opinions about pod racing (and whether something is or isn’t pod racing) or the infamous ‘yippeee!’, there’s something quite arresting about the thought about what happened to the little boy who was ‘little orphan Ani’. What’s he been up to? What’s he doing now? What does he look like all grown up? Well, we have the interview that answers those questions. Recently, Jake Lloyd came out to Australia as a guest of Supa
After the success (financial, anyway) of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace back in 1999, Jake Lloyd (young Anakin Skywalker) pretty much took a break from screen acting to do all that growing up. Well, Sci-Fi Pi — the SciFi Channel’s blog Down Under, where it’s not called SyFy; lucky them — managed an interview with Lloyd at Australia’s Supanova pop culture expo about starring in the prequel and his life in the decade after, and I found it to be a brief but telling look at how childhood stardom plays out today.
